Gerry-
Very true; you have to be careful when you use $link with #set.
However, if you just print it out without setting it to a variable, it
implicitly calls the toString() method:
$link.setPage("Foo.vm")
Also,
#set($url = $link.setPage("Foo.vm"))
$url
#set($url2 = $link.setPage("Foo2.vm"))
$url2
will print them correctly, but
#set($url = $link.setPage("Foo.vm"))
#set($url2 = $link.setPage("Foo2.vm"))
$url
$url2
won't!

Gerry-
The toString() method on $link is supposed to clear out the state of
the object, refreshing back to empty for subsequent usage. If you are
doing something like
#set($url = $link.setPage("Foo.vm"))
This will NOT refresh the link back because toString() is not being
called. Change a line like this to the following:
#set($url = $link.setPage("Foo.vm").toString())
